The bus ride is comfortable and the guide was excellent! We had a great time on the trip. The ruins were awesome to see.
A very nice, comfortable bus drive from the port to the ruins. On the way, our guide gave us a history overview of the ruins . Once there, we were able to explore and take pictures on our own. The family enjoyed the outing
Quite a bit of walking but doable. Enjoyed the ruins which we had wanted see. Very good guide. Explained everything
